BARN-DOOR HANGER PART;

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I THOMAS V. PLICE, States, resident of Ohio, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Barn-Door Hanger Parts, of.which the following is a specification, thev principle of the inventionbeing herein explained and the best mode in which I have contemplatedapplying that principle, so as to distinguish it from other inventions.

My invention relates to door hanger parts and particularly tothat partof barn door hangers which is adapted to beisecured to the upper end ofthe door.

The object of the invention is to produce a barn-door hanger part simpleinits construction and eflicient in its operation.

The saidinvention consists of means hereinafter fully described andparticularly set forth in the claim.

The annexed drawing and the following description set forth in detailcertain means embodying my invention, the disclosed means, however,constituting (but one of various mechanical forms in which the prin-.ciple of the invention may be applied.

In said annexed drawing: Figure 1 represents a side elevation of a doorhanger :part embodying my invention, showing a frag-1 mentary portionofa door in vertical transverse section. Fig.2 represents a frontelevation of such hanger part. Fig. 3 represents a rear elevation of theupper portion of said part and fragmentary door portion.

Fig. 4 represents,in perspective, a detail of the said hanger part.

In the illustrated embodiment of my invention, A represents a door towhich the hanger part is who secured. Said hanger part comprises in itsstructure a main or body portion B, which consists of a plate adapted tobe secured to one face of the door as shown, by means of suitable screwsIn the lower centralpart of the late is a guide a, formed by cutting andben ing outwardly a portion of the plate. This guide is provided with acentral circular aperture a (shown in dotted lines in Figs. 1 and 2.)The upper portion of the plate is cut and bent to form two outwardlyprojecting; guide lugs a a and an inwardly projecting lug. a adapted tobe secured to the upper edge of the door.

Movably mountedinrsaid s1ide-. way 1s a member D formed with an upward inner extensioncl adapted to be secured to the trolley (not shown) and a downward outerextension (Z'. The latter is provided l with a threaded bore cl engagedby an ad justing screw (i whose inner end is rotatably secured to themember C by means of a washer (1* held in place by riveting the innerend of said screw, as shown in Fig. 1.

By means of the above-described construction it will be seen that thedoor may, when l1eavy,be adjusted vertically by turning the nut C andhorizontally by turning the screw (Z the lugs a and a forming a guidewayfor the movement of member 0, as will be readily understood.

In order to retain the upper end of member C in position the outer partof the guiding space formed by lugs a a may be contracted, by suitablycutting such lugs, whereby retaining. projections a a are formed, asshownin the drawing.

As shown. in the drawings, I preferto make the slideway 0' so that 1twill incline slightly in a downward and inward direction. By means ofthis arrangement the horizontal. adjustment is accompanied by a slightvertical adjustment, which I find in some cases to be a desirablefeature of my invention.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim and desire to secureby Letters Patent is:-

In a door hanger part, the combination of a main or body member adaptedto be secured to the face of the door and provided with two upperoutwardly projectingjlugs forming a guide and a lower outwardlyprojecting lug, likewise forming a guide; a member movably seated insaid guides having alowe'r threaded portion and an upper transverselyprojecting portion formed with a transverse slide-way; a nut on the saidthreaded f poi'tien and below esai'el lower said 'slidable member,WhereBjWhe: letter guide; a member seated in s'aid "slideway may beadjnjsted in its slide-way. 7 7
